But I did manage to find a photo of the quay looking south, so I do not know exactly how deep the water I would very much doubt that it is very much.
I take it that this is the film which started the interest:

Clarecastle (then just Clare) is mentioned in Commander James Wolfe’s Sailing Directions circa 1840
Beyond this it would be impossible to proceed without a pilot. The river beyond Coney Island winds through vast banks of mud, extending from 1 to 1½ miles from the shore, decreasing gradually in width from 600 yards, and varying in depth from nine to three feet up to the town of Clare, nearly seven miles in a direct line, and nine following the channel.
At Clare the bed of the river is dry at low water, but there is a quay, alongside of which vessels load. Clare is a miserable place, though the shipping port of Ennis. It is a military station.
